A

Another very important object of the inven- 10 tion isr to 'provide abowling pin of the afore mentioned character comprising novel means forholding the lrubber covering on the core or body of the pin. y Otherobjects of the invention are to pro` lv'vido a bowling pin of thecharacter described which will be comparatively simple in construction,strong and durable. attractive in appear' ance andwhich may bemanufactured at lowcost. 90 All ofthe foregoing and still furtherobjects andadvantages of the invention will become apparentr from astudy of the following speciilcaf y tion, taken in connection with theaccompanying like' characters of reference -35 designate correspondingparts throughout the several views, and wherein:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a bowling pin constructed inaccordance with the present invention.

30 Figure `2 is a vertical sectional view, takensubstantially on theline 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Figure 3 is a view in `horizontal section, taken substantially on theline 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Referring now to 4g a multiplicity of passages or bores 2 the purthedrawing in detaiLit vsi; will be seen that the embodiment or theinvenpose of which will be presenny set forth. This is shown toadvantage in Figs. 2 and 3- of the drawing.

The core or body I of the' pin is enclosed in Aa'.

rubber covering 3. As best seen in Figs. 1 and 3 5 extend at differentangles through the body ory core I.

It will -thus be seen that a bowling pin has been provided whichincludes a moisture proof, 15 rubber covering which yprotects the entirecore or body of the pin.
